The blimp controlled by an RC receiver of 6.4 Ghz using an Arduino Uno circuit board (for the desired input/output) was able to accomplish a stable flight and an expected constant acceleration . The rc system is able to level the orientation of its x axis and y axis as it flies. The fuel cell is hybridized with a typical hobby‐grade battery in order to optimize power and energy, as it is done in the latest hydrogen car designs.
The battery provides the acceleration power, while the fuel cell provides cruise power as well as extra energy for the battery. This decreases the amount of batteries needed, eliminates the need to charge batteries, and provides much longer run times for the vehicle (factor of 3 to 4), if scaled up just slightly the increased flight time is great enough to excuse the increased load.

Reducing cost and improving durability are the two most significant challenges to fuel cell commercialization. Fuel cell systems must be cost-competitive with, and perform as well or better than, traditional power technologies over the life of the system. Ongoing research is focused on identifying and developing new materials that will reduce the cost and extend the life of fuel cell stack components including membranes, catalysts, bipolar plates, and membrane-electrode assemblies. Low cost, high volume manufacturing processes will also help to make fuel cell systems cost competitive with traditional technologies and give the Hydrogen a place as a power source in the industry of robotic and mechanized systems such as it is the UAV, where its applications and viability of this product will assume new ways of Hybrid motors, or, in the proper case, a complete system of polymer reaction based on water as a by-product.
Being able to prove the efficiency of a hydrogen fuel cell when its apply to and electric system, show us that the viability of this product for the industry of UAV is a possibility that solves Environmental concern issues and that brings a better optimization and efficiency to the energy system for long range flights and Industrial application functions.
